Historic Buildings

Leicester’s “Buildings at Risk Register” is a compilation of more than fifty historic buildings across the city that are at risk from vacancy and poor repair. They range from cottages and shops to churches and factories, including a building that was once the largest shoe factory in the world. The City Council owns only a few of the buildings. In some cases you may need to negotiate with owners. We are willing to give you all the help we can to secure new uses for these special buildings. Please contact James White on (0116) 2527217 or e-mail conservation@leicester.gov.uk.
